AlthouKb he Rice Owls have been defeated in five out of the* eitfht sanies on their schedule, their sensational wirt over the Arkansas . Razor backs last 1 week made the rest of the conference look at the lowly birds in an ent rely different light. After finding out that it is poaslble to win a conference game, a new confidence likely will be added to Coach Meager’s out fit that will be (hard to overcome. With only one win to two defeats in conference games credited Jto each team,- both are considered out of the running;for a championship, but neither will Ik» considered <4it of the race to give the conference leaders plenty of trouble and many anlupset before the season is finally; ended. Although rfo official corps trip will be made to Houston* classes will be dismissed at 10:40 Saturday morning, November J8, in order to give students time to catch a sprcii 1 train that will be run.

The time for the special to leave Houston has not !>een decided. t: Commissions Presented i- 1 Judging from remarks heard about the campus over the week-etid, the members of the corps were ex ceedingly pleased with the colorful method of present ing commissions; in the cadet corps to the senior offi cers as was carried out on the drill field Saturday morning. Appearing extremely military, the entire cer emony waf an impressive sight. Although tlfe old method was very pleasing to* watch, and afforfied considerable applause, it failed to lend the militari.'ftic touch evidenced by the field pres entation. There .^eems to be a place for all things—in the Coliseums wt expect to attend a political conven tion, in the srenai we expect to witness a fistic encoun ter, but we cannot expect a military ceremony in the Chapel. In other words, we feel that all khaki colored rograms grid all khaki colored activities should take dace in the open Heartily,' indorse this new' development of the lilitary department. 1 %i \ 1 - 4 k {J- 4h 1 a ommunity Chest I Students will be given an opportunity this w^ek to contribute to the Community Chest Fupd. it 1 r as announced by Dr. Daniel Russell, professo# of rup*al sociology, at a meeting of the. Student Welfare C^lni mittee last Thursday evening in the Mess Hall. “The sum total of all subscriptions taken will jbo used for student benefit,” Dr. Russell said, f And/lihe added, “in view of the fact that faculty members also make contributions, it will be necessary for i dents to make only a minimum subscription of *1 cents.” He pointer! out that last y«ar students were solicited, owing to the fact that faculty donations w< sufficient. J ^ r j - A c 11 Dr. Russell stressed the point that this •money is used for student welfare alone—and fo^ no other pur pose. He cited several instances of former years whare Various students had been aided to no small degree by Fund-loans.
